What to Expect During HVAC Installation in Malibu
Understanding each step of the installation helps make the whole process smooth and stress-free.
In-Home Visit and Equipment Selection
Every project starts with a full site evaluation. Our technicians check your ductwork, look at how your home is positioned, measure the size of your space, and assess your insulation. We use precise Manual J load calculations to find out exactly what your home needs, instead of guessing. You’ll get equipment recommendations tailored to you, like variable-speed compressors, dual-fuel systems, and high-efficiency air handlers that help control humidity and lower your energy bills.
Installation Day Schedule and Home Preparation
On installation day, our technicians show up on time with all the tools and equipment they need. We use floor runners and corner guards to protect your floors, cabinets, and walls. The team safely disconnects electrical parts and removes refrigerant from old units before taking them out. You can help by clearing space around your indoor and outdoor units, keeping pets safe, and making sure the driveway is open for our vehicles.
When we start up your new system, our technicians check everything to make sure it works perfectly from the beginning. They test the voltage, measure electrical use, check the drains, and make sure the refrigerant levels are right. We also do safety checks to confirm good airflow and venting. At the end, we walk you through how to use your smart thermostat, change air filters, adjust settings, and find your breaker panel, so you feel confident using your new system every day.

Here's what our satisfied customers are saying...
Posted on Jim DepskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very happy with the entire experience of hiring this company to replace our HVAC system. It took us a long time to decide on which contractor to use, and I really pestered these folks with many phone calls and questions. I was equally impressed with their depth of knowledge, their patience with my inquiries, the professionalism and care displayed during the installation, and the reasonable price.Posted on V. H.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for the smoothest experience with purchasing an AC unit/s, Air Force AC & Heating is the one to hire. The best service and honest pricing hands down! Jason, who came out to give me an estimate was so friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. He gave us a quote on the costs for repairs vs replacement. After he diagnosed our equipments, he was honest that our units were reparable and a replacement was not at all necessary. Since our units were 24 yo, we decided to go a head and replace both units. We were outstandingly surprised with their pricing. Another company quoted us $40K to replace both units, AFAC & Heating ended up costing us $23K. Jesse, the owner and an Air Force veteran, was all hands on and so transparent and thorough with explaining their products. He took the time following up making sure we were being taken care of during the whole process. His crew was very courteous, pet friendly, and hardworking. They prepared our floors for their foot traffic and took the time to clean up. Thank you Air Force & Heating! We will definitely be referring your services!Posted on Mike RubinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I interviewed five or six hvac, guys, and jesse came out the winner. He's honest reasonable, that explains everything. the system he installed makes my large house ice cold, and I would highly recommend him.Posted on Viet TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Jason, the technician who diagnosed our system, and Jesse and his team who performed the installation of a new furnace and condenser unit. They were friendly, responsive, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend Air Force AC for your HVAC needs.Posted on Val DoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse Porter and his team are outstanding. Team members are caring, courteous and professional which is an indication of Jesse’s management. I highly recommend Air Force and have already recommended them to many who have used their services.Posted on Sidney TanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Air Force for a 2nd opinion on my AC that has stopped working. The first quote was for $14K which included a new HVAC system. I thought that was way too much. So, I called Air Force and Jesse answered my call and was so informative and knowledgeable. So, he sent Jason to come by. Jason did a very thorough job diagnosing the issue and found the problem. He fixed it and it cost me around $750. WOW! The other company was trying to sell me something I didn't need. If you want an honest company that does a great job, call Air Force. Thanks Jesse and Jason.Posted on Jaylin TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was very nice over the phone and when he arrived he was very nice in person my flame sensor was bad he made sure it was working before he left my home thank youPosted on Raymond GiragosianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse provided outstanding service once again… less than two years ago, I had Air Force Air Conditioning company to install a brand-new AC unit for me, twenty days before the labor and part warranty was going to expire, in early July/2024, the new unit’s compressor died … as soon as I contacted Air Force Air Conditioning Co. , Jaime one of the top technicians to visited my unit and concluded need a brand-new compressor. A day later, I wan in touch with Jesse, the owner, and he told me the manufacturer does not have any new compressor in stock and it will take about 20+ days for them to acquire that part, and as soon as manufacturer obtains and ships that part, Air Force Air Conditioning Co. will be able to replace my broken compressor. After 20 days, Jesse contacted me and said the manufacture has not been successful in acquiring the new part and Jesse has escalated the matter to the management of the manufacturer and he has convinced them to ship another identical brand-new AC unit instead…. Very next day Jesse sent the team, and they installed that brand-new unit for me, all under warranty… I was very grateful for Jesse’s outstanding support and service… I have been working with Jesse and the team for over 4 years now, and they have always delivered outstanding service….one key point that I am attempting to make here is Jesse is a genuinely good and caring individual, and you can rely on his commitments, and that is something hard to find these days, in my opinion. When you come across some bad luck situations, like I did, partnering and working with a business professional that has high ethical values and qualities is priceless, in my opinion. And that is what I have seen through the years from Jesse and his team, and I am truly grateful for the value they have delivered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is my review from 2023....Great service, always. This company installed 2 units for me over the past 3 years. Always get a reliable service. The owner, Jesse, is personally involved and caring. Jesse communicates clearly and honestly; you know what to expect. His team, Jason, and Jaime, are very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. Highly recommend this firm's service.Posted on Terry HoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent and Thorough Job Beginning to End. Jesse explains everything clearly. It all went smoothly.

Warranty and Ongoing Care After Installation
After installation, you want warranty coverage in case a part fails. Most systems come with a manufacturer’s parts warranty, while labor coverage can vary and is listed on your invoice or service agreement. Keep your invoice, installation date, model number, and serial number together, and complete warranty registration if needed.
Regular care helps your system keep you comfortable and reduces service calls. Change the air filter as recommended, keep vents open, and clear leaves and dust from the outdoor coil. Homes and small businesses in Malibu already have a brand in place, and you may want to keep it during replacement. You may also want a different brand for noise level, efficiency ratings, or price. Air Force AC and Heating works with major HVAC brands and checks compatibility among indoor and outdoor units, controls, and existing connections to ensure the system operates as expected.
